READY

RISE is a unique opportunity for rising high school seniors (aged 17-19) to start a life of service by briefly volunteering at Camp CoBeAc.

The RISE program will experience and participate in two weeks of summer camp. Along the way, they’ll be discipled and challenged along with CoBeAc’s full-time and summer staff. 

INVESTED

SERVING

In a two-week opportunity to serve alongside CoBeAc’s operational staff on the kitchen, maintenance, or retail crews, RISE will participate in the service necessary to run camp ministry all while seeing God work.

Through real responsibility, hands-on service, and intentional discipleship, students are challenged to step up and deepen their walk with Christ.
